I remember when I was at the driving school in the late 80s our teacher gave us a practical lesson how to tow another vehicle and what safety meassures have to be taken for people all around.
I also learned at what points on vehicle I can attach a rope safely on. My teacher explained very detailed that we always have to be aware of an explosiv ripping of the tow rope or of flying parts of broken metall shakles.
Don`t know if this a typical german thing or if it is still in the course of instructions today. But knowing this saved at least 2 times in the past other people on scene when the tow rope ripped suddenly.
